Brett Porter closed MNG-2528.
-----------------------------
Assignee: Brett Porter
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: (was: Reviewed Pending Version Assignment)
Releases in Maven are, by definition, unchanging. The always flag is to check
for new releases (like it looks for new snapshots), not modifications to the
existing one.
> updatePolicy "always" does not work for repositories with "releases", at
> least not for transitive dependencies

> Key: MNG-2528
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2528
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Arne Degenring
> Assignee: Brett Porter
>
> Released versions normally should be final. Once deployed, they should not be
> upgraded. That's what snapshot versions are for.
> Anyway, Maven *does* allow to overwrite an existing version in the repository
> by re-deploying it. Therefore, to make builds repeatable and reproducable,
> Maven should check for updates even of released versions, not only snapshot
> versions.
> I tried to use the following setting:
> <repositories>
> <repository>
> <releases>
> <enabled>true</enabled>
> <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
> </releases>
> ...
> My project A has a dependency to version 5.0-SNAPSHOT of a JAR B. That JAR B
> has a dependency to version 1.6 of another JAR C. In my local repository
> there's an outdated version 1.6 of JAR C (i.e. version 1.6 has been
> redeployed after a bug has been found). The problem is: During my build of
> project A Maven is looking for an update of JAR B, but NOT of JAR C.
> This problem was originally discussed on
